OSX users out there? Serious bug (I think)

Nothing personal, I do respect you, but

Bitch please!

dmd has the ability to produce broken object files from time to time on 
every platform [1] so "the worst possible moment" can punish you even 
when e.g. you remove tracing code or update druntime/Phobos. And yes, it 
happens often - it hit me on two different projects (guess, how many 
compile-to-exe non-toy projects I had last time?).

Also OPTLINK tends to stop linking (yes, randomly) when your project 
grows in size and you use templates (read "ranges") forcing you to do 
further development without debug info (really nice to read you own code 
only in asm, isn't it?) thus making D unusable for non-toy Windows 
development. I have never understand people saying "it's a bullshit, you 
are just angry, D is usable" as they never ever argue how you can use D 
(my advice for them to argue me here: "D is usable if you carefully 
(read "don't") use templates").

Also one have to use contracts and closures very carefully because of 
tons of wrong-code bugs.

P.S.
Still think you "wrong-code with -O switch" issue is serious? I have 
never think D is nearly ready to pass "-O" to compiler (afraid of CPU 
explosion on compiled program launch).


P.P.S.
Create a time machine and move back in early 2012 (or just imagine there 
is no Kenji Hara among us). What do you see? Right, wrong code on almost 
every `std.algorithm` usage (read "when predicate uses outer scope"). So 
current situation is still the same heaven it was that time Kenji fixes 
that. Yes, I remember I was so happy...
